Default a dose of reality

One thing I might add about getting some punitive damages or jail time for the scammer. The authorities, while they might be interested, might have other bigger fish to fry. If you are to get help, and want to do it, my understanding is it might be easiest to get help at the most entry level of law enforcement...that being the City where the scammer, or you, are first. Then move up the chain after that. I remember the T206 scammer and the end result there. Since, in the end, there were no real losses the authorities prioritized it much less. Sad, but I think true. In their defense the question back to us becomes, do they go after other more egregious situations first, or this guy? I hope no one will take this as me thinking something shouldn't still be done to this guy, punitively, as I do. I am just saying what I think might happen. I hope not though. regards
